A good alternative to taking A614 from Bridlington to howden, less traffic less police.From Bridlington to Brandesburton, some straights a couple of villages, but you can get a move on. Take care on the Brandesburton Bypass as unmarked cop cars trawl this part of route to Hull.after beve...

A half day trip that's great in any weather. Starting and ending in Harrogate with a stop off in Filey at the cafe at the Beach. Harrogate-Wetherby-Rufforth-Stamford Bridge-Wetwang-Bridlington-Filey-Scarborough-WhitbyFylingdales-Pickering-Helmsley-Thirsk-Ripon-Harrogate. The best bits in my opinion ...

Open roads and twisty bends, some great riding. A couple of small villages in between to slow you down, other than that its throttle, throttle, throttle. Newby Wisk, the North Yorkshire Police HQ is off this road so take a little more care nearer Northallerton, but i've not seen any police yet.

This section seems to have been unfairly missed in your other review (A171 Whitby - Pickering). It's also a pretty nice coastal run and can be nicely combined with the other routes on this site in the same area.
Enjoy :-)

Nice long gradual uphill section were you can realy feel the bike pull & pick up speed, watch out for those dossy sheep. then drops down the other side, some nice sweeping corners & a brill view, oh & the white house pub on the top if you want to stop or you can go left at the bottom of the hill & h...

Good surfaced A road 50/60 speed limits some cameras, busy with some police bikes etc sundays. ride takes u past Whalley, Clitheroe over to Skipton and on over tops through area called Blubberhouse [high mooreland]dropping down into Yorkshire at Harrogate, through Harrogate and onto York where one...

Nice run out with plenty of bends and straights.
Nice pub in Gainsborough for a drink fooled by another at the barge in Newark
and the forest cafe on the a616 on the way back
Not done this route in awhile so will do an update when I get out

This is one hell of a road but be carefull, casualty rates are high, danger is everywhere, best times are weekdays after 7pm and weekends before 9am. Tight twists, awesome straights but take care this road is one of the most dangerous in the UK

A nice east-west road running through Cumbria and across into the Dales. There are some quite nice sections on this route (I can't remember specifics as it was a while since I was there), the stone walls on certain sections make it quite hard to be confidently fast in places.

This is a very popular route for bikers hence there can be a lot of police on a Wednesday night and Sundays which are very popular times for Squires Cafe
The best place to join the road is from the A19 just north of the A64 / A19 junction

Police presence is minimal, however a number of the Northern forces tend to use it as a training run in cars and on bikes.
There are farms on the road so watch out for dirt on the surface and farm vehicles travelling slowly and pulling in / out. There are a few corners where the road appears to go ...

This is a great little run on a Sunday morning to get rid of the cobwebs, if you time it right then you can miss all the sunday drivers and really have a go at this route. Lots of great corners but watch out for the odd humpback section here and there as it is easy to get airborne just before some o...

This is a great run out for cornering action. Lots of nice fast sweeping bends mostly with good visibilty. Best section is between Driffield and North Frodingham. It tightens up a little from Beeford to Skipsea. Surface is good all the way. It's all pretty flat. Well worth a visit if your in t...

From Pool get onto the B6161 and follow it. This goes to Killinghall. Road surface varies from rough to freshly laid so keep an eye on it. The road is varied from occasional straights to hairpin bends up and down some 17% hills to nice sweeping bends. A 30 and a 40mph speed limit along the way and s...

Take the B6479 out of Settle towards Chapel-le-Dale. When the get to the Ribblehead viaduct tuen right on the B6255 to Hawes.
This really is a superb stretch of road and one of the finest in the dales. The first half is a rollercoaster of a road with a grat variety of bends. Stop at the midway poin...

This route is a great continuation from the B6265 Ripon to Greenhow Hill route or used in conjunction with the B6451 Summerbridge to Otley. There are some great views from Greenhow Hill and some beautiful, very typical examples of North Yorkshire villages. Most corners are pretty good but there are ...

Another Dales run, that can be joined to the Hawes - Thwaite run that
I just entered :-) Lots of tight and quite technical curves through
the Dales. I liked it on a big trallie. Care should be taken for oncoming cars on the narrow sections, especially round Thwaite where I understand there have ...

very quiet road running through some lovely wolds villages especially Langton. Fond memories for me my grandad taught me to drive on this road in a Vauxhall Viva van. Some fast bits especially on the Buttercrambe to Norton bit (already covered by others. Also nice for just cruising along. Better tha...

Leave Bacup on A671 to Burnley, watch speed through village of Weir, over Deerplay summit the drop down to Burnley is a nice twist ride. At lights give it a sharp right on A646 to Todmorden (Tod) again twisty ride. Tod centre roundabout left on A646 (Halifax Rd) to Hebden Bridge, touristy, but plent...

This route consists of country roads over open moorland dropping down into deep valleys with the occasional stream to cross (easy, in dry weather), (I have a big trailie but others in our group have sport bikes and tourers all enjoyed the route). It starts in Barnard Castle, head south down the hill...

This is an awesome route from Barnsley junct 37 to holmfirth, Holme, glossop, snake pass, rivelin valley, grenoside (Sheffield) back to Barnsley. Little bit of town work but mostly rural, careful of the bumps coming down Through Holme but look at the views totally amazing, can stop at snake pass for...

This route is one of my favourite route around Yorkshire and the Peak district. Starting at The Fairway Hotel Dodworth Barnsley travelling via Peniston, Holmefirth Glossop. There is a very nice Cafe in Glossop (Glossop cafeteria) then via Chaple-en-la-frith, Castleton, Ladybower, Sheffield and then ...

Very fast road. Start and finish have some very nice bends then the middle from rudston to sledmere two very good straights to get alot of speed up and very fast sweeping bends. Police can be a nightmere after 1st roundabout at octon hill to sledmere and then through sledmere village. Nice bendy bit...

The start is excellent weaving between the hedges without any farm enterences, if it has been raining recently then watch out for streams on the hilly sections.
Out of Birstwith the roads are fast and sweaping but keep an eye out for side roads, with occasionally have gravel on them.
BE SURE to t...

There are a few canal bridges that can cause issues if you are going quick. There are a few parts where the road is a bit bumpy but this mostly effects sports bikes. Traveling from Throapham, you can get a drink along the way or make it all the way to Willingham woods for a biker meet/cafe. Part...

a cracking run around Nidderdale with optional stops in Pateley- (chippy) or the Sun Inn. includes an insanely quick section of straights and good road surface from way up in Greenhow village back down to the A59, generally good visibility for farm traffic but watch the blind summits

Short morning or evening blast, nice corners and good straights, Grane Road can be busy. Leave Haslingden on A6177 Grane Road spoilt by 50 limit on long down hill straight. Go across motorway roundabout to next roundabout at Guide village, go right B6321, then right at next roundabout B6236 Haslingd...

This route has a bit of everything, mostly single track, road surface generally good but can be some patches of gravel to be wary of, finishes with a short blast on open fast road back to Helmsley. It has a mix of everything, tight wooded sections with limited visibility, open moorland with clear vi...

This is a varied route some of it slow some of it fast, with views from lush valley to lakes to bleak moors. You may see some police but as far as speeds concerned, the stretch from Hebden Bridge is national speed limit with great bends and good visibility. Just watch out for the dips towards the en...

Excellent Mixed route when you have 60 mins to spare. A few decent places to stop for a Shandy or a cuppa and a good combination of bends and straights with the odd trip through a village to link them all up. Also a decent run whichever way round you ride it.

Starting & finishing at McDonalds on Holderness Road, Hull where there is a very large car park to meet up this route takes you out to the scenic area of South Holderness. A gentle 30 minutes & you reach Withernsea where there is plenty of free parking & some great Fish & Chips shops. Turning left...

Short one this but pretty good fun towards the Hornsea side. Meaux road now a 40 limit ;) but still provides some fun due to the twisty and tight nature towards the end, beware of the blind right after coming down the hill as its narrow. Hull road provides some excellent corners, but beware of the ...

A good scenic route from the M62 to the North York Moors and the Yorkshire TT, if you still have enough energy left after this demanding run. Leave the M62 @ Howden take A614 s/p Driffield. Very fast stretch of road, beware of mobile cameras on this road. Locals do tend to warn you though. Go throug...

i use this as a cut through when going to/from Scarborough rather than the A64 its a 2 lane unclassified road but a lot more fun and less traffic reasonable surface and enough bends to keep your interest up will do it one day with the camcorder mounted

This is my favourite route near to home, I have ridden this route many times and still enjoy it, lots of fast straights, sweeping corners and twisties, the road parallel to the A1 is nice, but watch out for deer sneaking out of the hedgerows at dusk.

It's basically a TT track. Best way to complete this lap is by starting at the sun inn pub, and finishing at it too. Best of everything but can have plenty of 5-0 buzzing around. There can also be lots of cow-pat/muck on the roads on summer...

A good road to get your teeth into.
A mixture of rural villages and a small amount of open wide A Roads.
The section from Gainsborough through Blyton is a little slow but
turning onto the B1205 to Kirton Lindsay is unmissable.
The bends near to Waddingham are particularly good.
End the rou...

Check the weather before setting off! This is a challenging ride out along winding single track country roads. The Tarmac is good with very few potholes. It takes you through Malham, take the left road towards Malham Tarn and follow it all the way to the top. Great in the good weather but a real...

Nice run around North Yorks ideal for Adventure bikes, some of this is on single track roads with a few gates thrown in (tip leave your bike in gear engine off to avoid roll overs when you get off), there is also some nice "progressive" A roads (A682 & A59) and the notional start point is Skipton Ca...

The back roads from Skipton to Hebden. Mostly narrow B roads with little traffic during the day, not one single camera to worry about. From Skipton end the roads can be quite quick and smooth flowing and as you get into the back of Oakworth/Stanbury it gets a bit choppy but quite good surfaces. Fro...

Great way to blow off an hour. Duck pond from cawood through ryther is great little tight bends but no bushes so you can see everything for a mile or so, be careful though, recently resurfaced (aug 2011), it'll be like an ice rink for a bit!! There can be quite a police presence at times (particula...

Now this is a road and a half!
If you like little back routes this is perfect. The section I have shown is quite short - about 1 mile - but is brilliant. It really requires good riding skills especially on a reasonable sized machine. The road surface is in part large stone blocks on a particul...
